Vacant Clinton Seat Occupied In Record Time

Let me say, thank you Gov. David Patterson. For:

• Resisting the urge to get involved in the media drama over the Clinton Replacement
• Filling the actual vacancy in 2 days
Picking a woman, which I think is important. (and said so a month ago)
• Picking someone qualified, who has actually been elected, by New Yorkers at least once.

And so ends the invented drama. Congratulations, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand!
